Built for the Glock 19 series of pistols, the new Radian Afterburner compensator and Ramjet barrel have just been announced. The new ported barrel and micro compensator are meant to improve performance and also aid in holstering. The Radian Afterburner is now also one of the smallest pistol compensators on the market. The Afterburner micro compensator will be available for Glock 19 pistols generation 3 through 5 and the Ramjet barrel will feature the same compatibility.

The increased length that the barrel and micro-compensator add to the Glock 19 effectively turns the pistol into a Glock 17 length platform meaning your pistol will now be compatible with all Glock 17 holsters. With the increasing popularity of pistol-mounted red dots and the prevalence of a high rate of fire shooting sports like USPSA and steel challenge, this compensator should be a boon to those who compete and fun addition for those who just want to have quicker split times when on the flat range.

The Afterburner and Ramjet are meant to be used in tandem in order to get that 44% recoil reduction for 115-grain ammunition. In order to take advantage of the Radian Afterburner and Ramjet combo, you’ll have to subscribe to the product page to be notified when it becomes available for order. The Radian Afterburner + Ramjet combo will be available at a starting price of $389.95 which is nearly 3/4 the cost of a new Glock 19 pistol. However, this may be a small price to pay for those who compete and want to use their already customized Glock 19 pistol. I would also be interested to see if the barrel can be used on its own and if Radian plans on selling the components individually. What are your thoughts on this new barrel and micro compensator combo?
